A landslide victory.

 After much - huffing and puffing - Labour have a landslide victory in Parliament - with a majority of 176. This has surpassed their wildest dreams and expectations. People like Lizz Truss and Rees-Mogg have been kicked out. This is a dramatic change of fortunes for these Brexit - standard bearers. On the other hand - the Reform Party under Farage has done relatively well with 4 seats. Another big winner is the Lib/Dems with 71 seats. North of the boarder the SNP has had a thumping - returning only 9 seats and losing 38. In Northern Ireland, Sinn Fein managed to get 7 - which is a great win for them - as the party wants a unified country. The political map of the UK has been redrawn - in a manner not seen for several generations. Now the hard work for Keir Starmer, and his team starts.

  1. You left out Bristol Central gone solidly and massively Green, along with two rural seats and, of course, Brighton Pavilion
